Chapter 166
Ellie
The one thing you can always be sure of about hospitals especially when you are hurt is that; you always end up in a room that is sterile and the only thing you can hear is the sound of your heartbeat and a heart monitor and you can hear yourself breathing. Of the times that I've landed in hospital; I've always found comfort in thinking about the ocean or listening to songs about the ocean. Songs about water are very calming in their way. I've always loved; Florence and the Machine, Ceremonials is one of my favorite albums. It is hauntingly beautiful. It's a brand that's able to bring out both your dark, and light side and make them friends with each other.
The thing about quiet spaces that are sterile is that; there is nothing to do but reflect on everything that you've been through. It can be both terrifying and reflective. The terrifying part can be the unfamiliar territory that you find yourse
Chapter 167MarcWhen I receive the call from Daniel that Ellie was in the hospital, it felt like I had been punched and the stomach. First of all, I wanted to make peace with Ellie and hopefully find some common ground with her with regards to what we had been fighting about. Secondly, I didn't tell her the full extent of the nature of my friendship with Sandra.As soon as Blake drove me to the hospital, I couldn't run in even though I wanted to just sprint it to where Daniel; Abraham, and to my surprise Sandra was there when I hobbled into the waiting room. I've known Sandra for a while now and when she looked at me I knew that something was wrong. I got here Daniel and an argument with one of the doctors and he is the type to sell them argue he knows what he's doing and he's a professional but it was the first time that I've seen him lose it.When I asked Abe what was going on he
Chapter 168MaxI was in the mood to accept anything that Ellie told me. I was in a forgiving mood and have taxable married which is rough for me because I am a stubborn man with one exception the only exception has always and will be my baby love. I watched her pick up and fees him. He must have known I was around because he was asleep a couple of minutes ago. My boy takes after me and I wouldn't have it another way. I stretched my hands and Ellie kissed Axe and handed him to me. I put him on my chest and he started falling asleep." I'm jealous that it doesn't take you long to get him to calm down. "I looked at my girlfriend and I saw that she was a bit sad and frustrated."What's wrong ?""I'm a mother and I am so grateful to God and his angels for blessing me with a beautiful baby boy. "" Is it because you wanted a girl?"
Chapter 169EllieI want to find a place that I can call home and it's becoming very clear that; the only places I call home are the places I own away from the people who claim to be my family.The only person who has ever been honest about what his true intentions are about my relationship with their son is Romano. He has always been clear and direct that if I decided to get together with Daniel he would support it and that didn't mean that he didn't like Maxwell . He in fact did like Maxwell and when I had a conversation with him a couple of days ago when he came to visit me and Axel , he told me that he would support me in anyway if I wanted to break away from my grandfather .Truth be told I has already decided to do my own thing by starting my own business . The only thing that I had of Abraham's was the lake house that I asked for and that was it. I had my attorney deal with w
Chapter 170EllieIf there is one thing I know about Max and one thing that I am certain of is that; he knows how to keep a secret, and when he has a surprise he displays the highest degree of self control. Be it emotional, mental, or physically, he has a way of promising something will happen or that he would do something and not go into detail about the dynamics of how he is going to execute the task .I think that's why I loved him back then and right now because he is a man of his word and when he does something he does it with intent and conviction .To prove the point I just made ;Max didn't even take a shower with me . He just blew me a kiss when I went into the bathroom and went back to sleep . When I came out he was fast asleep, or pretending to be , I couldn't tell the difference with him.As much as I was his weakness; he was both
Chapter 171MaxI'm usually good at hiding things but when it comes to Ellie ; I have to have to always think ahead. I don't admit to a lot of things but I will admit to the fact that ; Ellie is my kryptonite and I felt bad about leaving her this morning without any warning , Blake was driving me and he was taking me to the hospital to get my cast removed .I had been doing my exercises and I had been serious about getting back on track and playing soccer.I wasn't going to be doing any strenuous exercises and I was staying at home until pre-season in January. I had time to spend with my girlfriend and my baby boy. I already miss them ,more specifically I miss Axel. To think I was jealous of him and I knew that Ellie was carrying a boy because I felt the same way when my mother was carrying Blake and Billie.I love my baby boy and I would do anything for him . It didn't take that long for the doctor to remove my cast and as soon as he rem
Chapter 172MaxI looked at Abe and shook my head .One of his men opened the door and walked in." Your men don't intimidate me. Clearly you're angry about something and you're in denial that ; you're sick, and it's not fair to keep it from Ellie. She loves you even though she is big mad at you for what happened . "" I'm not perfect . "" It was something preventable. ""I failed at keeping her away from you ."I looked at the guard and pointed to the door but he stood still ." Ellie loves me and I love her . Why is it so hard to accept that she chose me instead of Daniel who I am friends with by the way. "" Daniel was supposed to be the one who was supposed to marry Eleanor and then you cane along . "" What would it take for you to believe me . "" You don't deserve Ellie. ""Let her be the judge of that . "&nbs
Chapter 173EllieDaniel has always been my best friend. He has been with me through the good ; the bad , the ugly, thick , think , pregnant , not pregnant and everything in between. I would have never imagined him lying to me to cover up something so important who lie to me about something that is really important . Maxwell also lied to me and I feel like the only person who has been telling me the truth is Dexter.When Daniel came to me with a sad face, I knew he was fighting a losing battle because of his inability to keep up a pretence. part of me also knew that the only thing that could get him to be so sad was if someone he loved all care about was in jeopardy I'll be the losing their lives or in a bad space. I knew that my grandfather had not been well. I also knew that the time I had with him wasn't limited and being mad at him for so long get never work. He is after all family and
Chapter 174EllieI looked at Max and Janet. As perceptive Janet was she knew that I needed time alone with her son . I did a double take because he was not walking in crutches and his cast was out ." I thought you were going to have your cast on for two more months ."" surprise."Max kissed me and I kissed him back for some sort of odd reason I couldn't get enough of him ." You didn't kiss me goodnight last night and you didn't sleep next to me last night and your watch was next to my phone when I woke up do you care to explain why . "" Where is Axe ? "Janet looked at us and he was holding him."I've got him you too can go upstairs and talk. We will be here besides I haven't had out of time with Axe since you Max were up all night having fun with him
Chapter 374 Ellie I locked eyes with him, placed my spoon down, I placed both the palms of my hands on either side of his jaw and kissed him. "I have always had the fear of you leaving me and us not getting back together again. We almost lost it all but we fought to get to every year and I don't want us to not be with each other and have each other's backs when we're down. I know that sometimes our Lives can get hectic and thank you for forgiving me for what I did with Matteo. We both don't want to risk losing the people we loved and it seems as if Paulina is in love with you." "That may be true but my heart belongs to you I love you and I will never stop loving you you went when I was with other people I could think about was you so we also have something that we did together in that binds us so nice and I will never forget the day that we had our binding rooms done together at the same tattoo parlor. That was one of the best days of my life because you admitted strawberry ice cr
Chapter 373 Ellie I've been in pain before both emotionally and physically but combined it's a different kind of pain. Pain has levels that transcends by either triggers or events that trigger the same sensation that you felt before. It's like seasonal trauma but on a bigger scale because you feel it physically and you also feel that emotionally and no matter how hard you try not to feel like you always end up feeling it because it's meant to be felt. I always said that if you have torrents for paying you can tolerate anything, any blow that hits you or any fall that you suffer. I didn't expect what would happen. It wasn't supposed to happen if I had just said that I wasn't pregnant and just kept quiet and walked away instead of letting my ego get the better of me. I had to help my territory. Paulina needed to know that what she was doing was wrong. I already admitted to wrongdoing by trying to stop her friendship with my fiance from blooming because I was afraid of losing him
Chapter 372 Max By the time we made it to the hospital we had to enter another section of the hospital which was in the main entrance. I was a betting man. I'd say that these people have sections of hospitals everywhere they have wings .even when I traveled abroad with Daniel he had to go see a friend of his who was involved in a shooting that he wasn't supposed to be involved in and the level of security clearance was out of this world I had never seen security clearance like that and me being a football player which of course I'd need to get back to playing football our security clearance is nothing compared to the security clearance these guys have to get you have to be identified you have to know that you will be searched and the people that are searching you have to know that you're coming so for me to be tagging along with Fabio was a miracle. As soon as we walked in we were offered something to eat and drink but I don't have the first to drink anything in all the appetite
Chapter 371 Max have you ever been connected to someone so much so that you know that when something is wrong you can feel it in your blood bones and everything including your soul and you wonder if it might be something good or might be something bad or maybe it's just your mind playing tricks on you but I believe that when you are connected with someone and you've created love with someone you can feel when something is a bit off or something is wrong and in my case I did feel that something was off when I got taken away all of the sudden when I organised a meeting between Romano and Claudio. however understand reason why it happened but what I don't understand is the way I'm feeling right now because if you deserve the right has been pulled out from under me and I don't know how to react how to respond or 38 I don't know how you feel because I cannot comprehend how I feel everything was going ok I knew that the person that I loved and my loved ones are ok but all of the sudden t
Chapter 370MaxwellI don't like being hurt preferably I would love to do the hair thing because I know that I I'm getting something out of it I'm getting cathartic experience but the only thing I like getting as a punching bag which of course I love hurting because it doesn't fight back and it's just there for me to take out my frustration but when somebody takes out their frustration when you turn extent it's called abuse if you allow it to happen on a constant basis but in this case it wasn't to be my best friend who I really appreciate right now and I am happy and Proud to call a friend.I have to say that he pulled a number on me I'm in pain and I'm recovering from The Blues that he told me to make it look like I was involved in an attack this guy's a professional at what he does and I didn't have any makeup so he made it look like it was very young and I have been coming for a little while I don't know how he does it but he's a genius and I'm thinking that Daniel bought the fact
Chapter 369 Ellie The worst thing about setting up a meeting is if the person who set up the meeting doesn't pitch for the meeting and were civil and swine you know that the meeting is very important to both parties because it has to do with me marrying someone who requested for a meeting that I so wanted and now he's not here to eat the fruits of his labor. I'm still confused as to why Maxwell decided to have cold feet and not come to the party he's not the type of guy to chicken out of something that he said that he would do he's always been dependable and he's always been directed deliberate and intentional so for him to do what he did at a very important time of my life and at a time when I needed him the most is sort of out of character because it's not the guy that I've come to know and it's not the man that I thought and mind you thought being the operative word I was going to marry. I had to focus on the positives if I was still confused at how things had turned out and if
Chapter 368Max I'd like to believe that I'm not a skeptic but that would be lying. I know for a fact that I am a skeptical person because sometimes people don't always tell the truth, sometimes they just do and they sometimes make it into something that they want you to believe. There are always three sides to a story. I will say that there's always four sides to every story, there's the part that you hear, there's the part that the other person has to tell, the part that people believe is their own opinion of the truth and then the one that balances all is the real truth. When somebody says something it is always right to ask the person that they are talking about if what you heard was true if you don't it means that you choose to believe the truth that the other person who's lying told you and then you have to either verify the truth or believe the truth or someone else's version of the truth instead of hearing it from the horse's mouth. Deep down I knew for a fact that Matteo Ma
Chapter 367 Ellie If there's one thing that I don't want and one thing I don't want to go through again is the same hurt that I felt when Maxwell left me. You can love someone and give your all in a relationship but if the trust is not there then there's something that's missing people often say they trust is like a plate once you break it you can't put it back together but I beg to differ because once you break a plate it's up to you if you sweep up the pieces burn them making your plate it's ceramic for crying out loud so why would you not want to fix what was once broken and see if this person is capable of changing because everyone is capable of change if they want to change and if they are changing for the right person because if someone refuses to change they can actually limit the growth I always say a person who doesn't want to change as like a stagnant water , if doesn't move it can harbor filth. Water like blood is a life force. It's constantly moving and it's constantly
Chapter 366Maxyou know very well when you're about to go play a match whatever you have is enough to get you through the performance, whatever you wear and what every feeling you have means. I normally work through the nerves and of the times that I've been nervous my go-to thought all my go to safe place has always been the person that I want to marry and it turned out to be the person that I am engaged to right now. I've had nerves and I've had instances where I don't feel confident about the game I'm going to play but the only way to beat that is to have safe thoughts recently it has been only my son and my fiance but now I've got more things to think about than the usual soccer game and a performance that I have to put on. This is one of those days when I am not supposed to put on a performance because if I couldn't performance they are going to pick it up and if I act all weird they are still going to pick it up so the only thing to do is to act normal around both men who are
